Area of Science:

  • Dietetics
  • Professional Competency Development
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Competency standards define essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes for professional practice.
  • Developing robust competency standards is crucial for maintaining and advancing professional practice.
  • The evolving role of dietitians necessitates updated competency frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop comprehensive competency standards for dietitians.
  • To validate a systematic approach for competency standard development applicable to other professions.
  • To establish a clear framework for dietitian roles and responsibilities.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized focus groups with diverse stakeholders (employers, practitioners, academics, new graduates) to explore professional roles.
  • Employed a two-round Delphi survey with expert participation to achieve consensus on drafted standards.
  • Involved 28 participants in focus groups and 110 invited experts for the Delphi survey.

Main Results:

  • Identified four major functions of dietitians: professionalism, evidence-based nutrition practice, influencing health outcomes, and teamwork.
  • Achieved high consensus on competency standards, with 93% agreement in the first round.
  • All revised standards reached full consensus in the second round of the Delphi survey.

Conclusions:

  • The developed competency standards provide a clear benchmark for dietitian performance.
  • The methodology used is effective and can serve as a replicable framework for other professions.
  • This work substantiates a structured approach to competency standard development and review.
